• Purim Lapbook!

  But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that [Haman's] wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.  Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur.  Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning the matter, and which had come unto them, the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon ALL SUCH AS JOINED THEMSELVES TO THEM, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; and that these days should be remembered and KEPT THROUGHOUT EVERY GENERATION, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days should not fall from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
  - Esther 8:25-28

  I’m getting a little preachy this time.  Because I’m sorry, but if you claim to love the Lord and His chosen people, there is NO REASON you are not keeping this celebration.  In fact, by not keeping the feasts, you are illustrating your stance APART FROM the chosen people of Yehovah, and are in direct DISOBEDIENCE to scripture.  Annunciation, Lent, Easter, Good Friday, Ascension Day… NONE of them are commanded to be kept by all generations in scripture.  However, THIS (along with the seven in Leviticus 23) are.  Consider these things, because you are raising the next generation of believers – are you teaching them scripturally, or according to what ‘the church’ is telling you?  End of sermon.

  

  It’s Purim, and that means we’re taking off regular schooling to do a Holiday Lapbook!  THIS time, I don’t have to assemble a crapload of resources for you – because someone else did them up FREE on-line for me!   ((I love you, NoahideHomeschool.  You’re my hero.))
